Seeing as it's September, and September is basically Christmas, here's a gift for you: A new Howbout update! You can now tap & hold to add or move a plan on the day view section, so you can get your plans in easier, quicker, cleaner, sexier, and all the other good ‘-er’ words! We're also testing headers in your day view section for some of our users
